WEATHER REPORT TOWERS COTTON Government Forecast Causes Heavy Selling After Gains, Reversing Upward Trend. NEW YORK, Aug 20.—Although the cotton market was quiet today at the opening with first prices ranging from unchanged to 3 points above the final figures of Monday, the bulls imme diately introduced aggressive sup port which caused prices to advance 7 to 9 points from the early range. The movement was mostly based on lack of rain in Texas. Weather predictions ot rain within 24 hours in Texas offset the effect of the bull movement and the ef forts of the buyers to uncover big lines failed. The selling for New Orleans ac count wiped out part of the advance. Liverpool cables were not as good as expected today at the opening, but later developed a steady tore and followed our advance moderately. During the afternoon trading the market developed a steady tone with the Waldorf crowd good buyers. There was also some short • covering and prices showed a tendency to work hack to the high levels made during the early session. Some spot de mand was reported, which is believed to be stimulating the market. Anticipa tions are that if spinners come into the market prices will easily respond, as they usually do when spinners put in an ap pearance. During the last hour of trading the market weakened on the weekly govern ment report on weather, which was con sidered good and a heavy selling wave prevailed, which turned prices on a down ward movement with net losses ranging from 11 to 23 points below the opening. At the close the market was easy with prices showing net losses of H to 12 points from the final quotations of Monday. Warehouse stocks in New York today 94.5i4. certificated 85,531.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 20.—Weather developments over night were as predict ed. A well defined cold wave formed in the Northwest and will bring unsettled, rainy and cooler weather in the Western states in the next few days. Some light precipitation occurred over night tn local ities in south Texas. Liverpool was rather disappointing at first, but received support later Spot prices in Liverpool were 4 points higher; sales. 6.000 bales. A traveling crop authority reports east Alabama and Georgia as follows: "Crop laid by clean, well worked and shows steady improvement." Our market opened around last night's closing figure. There is no pressure to sell at the moment as too far under spots and trading are waiting spot deevlop ments. This pause is being used by some operations for an attempt against incom petent short interest. Whether this at tempt will be successful ami to what ex : tent depends on the rapidit, of increase in harvesting and on spot quotations in the Eastern states. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES.

The opening was quiet, but after open- | tng there was evidence of some of the I old bulls buying a little cotton which I caused short covering, bringing about a few points advance. While there is lit - | tie spot demand heard of. in a general way, some of the spot houses say spin neLs are '’’’-Ying on the decline. The course of the market at the mo ment depends on whether mills are will ing to buy around present prices or await further developments over the belt with the prospects of buying at a lower level. The Waldorf crowd have been good buy ers today and there is some spot demand reported, which is stimulating market.

Hayward A- Clark: The weather niay shows cloudy in south Texas, west Texas and North Carolina. Fair elsewhere: some showers in south Texas. Few isolated showers in rest of the belt. Temperatures lower in Oklahoma and northwest Texas. Weather very favorable. Indications are for un settled, cooler and rain coming on western states in near future. Cool wave ap proaching. also rain indicated for North Carolina. Tartly cloudy to fair else where. Houston. Texas, receives 12,515 new bales totlay against 6.138 last year. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: over Sunday a little rain fell in Texas and cooler weather with rain is promised in that, state. Nevertheless the contract rings encountered a distinct re actionary spirit which suggested the pres ence of a burdensome short interest and a scarcity of speculative sellers. All of which should Interest the talent in view of the bearishness of most operators, of the relative strength of the actual stuff, of the expanding new bale movement and of the scarcity of ocean freight room. Either futures are too low for spots and must climb at least 50 points during the near future, or spots are too high for fu tures and the basis must break. Bulls confidents' expect pessimistic re ports from the Atlantics within a day or two. Rears expect rains and cooler weather In Texas. Exporters seem to be finding cotton enough for the filling of their August commitments out of Galves ton, but say that new business is danger ous because »f the high basis they must now pay.

September sold at 6.54 on the curb yes terday afternoon, but after opening at 6.53, declined to 6.51 under moderate liquidation. Lard was lower, and while the steadiness In cotton might have been expected to exercise a steadying influence on values, crude oil was said to be offer ing more freely, and cdtton crop ad vices received by cotton oil houses were considered favorable.
